A. Policy and procedure for approval of grease interceptors and trash containment drain systems related to food service establishments is presented in this section.
B. All new food service establishments or those being remodeled are required to:
1. Install a grease interceptor sized in accordance with the uniform plumbing code, appendix H, but must be a minimum of seven hundred fifty (750) gallons;
2. Submit plumbing plans depicting all sewer lines discharging to or bypassing the grease interceptor; and
3. Submit, in writing, to the service provider, all calculations required by the uniform plumbing code, appendix H, for sizing of the interceptor as prepared by a Nevada licensed civil engineer.
C. Grease interceptors must be easily accessible at all times. If the interceptor is placed in a drive-through lane, it is the owner's responsibility to stop the flow of traffic during the inspection. This will be a condition of the owner's industrial wastewater discharge permit.
Note: Garbage disposals are prohibited in food establishments.
D. All new food establishments are required to install a floor drain in the outside trash containment pad for cleanup purposes and must comply as follows:
1. This drain must discharge to an approved grease interceptor.
2. Plans must reflect proper design and grading to ensure that only the containment pad area water is captured by this floor drain.
3. The design must ensure that surface drainage (i.e., storm water or irrigation runoff) from other areas does not discharge to this floor drain.
4. The pad cannot exceed six hundred (600) square feet unless it is covered.
5. Design of this drainage system must be reviewed and approved by the service provider.
6. During abnormally high precipitation or flooding, it is the owner's responsibility to temporarily block this drain. This will be a condition of the owner's industrial wastewater discharge permit.
7. It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure grading is completed per the approved plans. Corrections due to construction errors are the responsibility of the applicant and must be completed as a condition of the industrial wastewater discharge permit.
E. The applicant shall submit plans to the building department and the local service provider. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall comply with the conditions of this policy. (Ord. 506, 1-18-2007)
